Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Piping bag or resealable plastic bag
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (for swirl)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and cinnamon; press into the bottom and sides of the springform pan.
  • Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes and let it cool completely.
  • Beat softened cream cheese until smooth; add granulated sugar and mix until fluffy.
  • Add sour cream, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon; mix on low until combined, avoiding overmixing.
  • In a bowl, prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon; pipe onto puff pastry and roll it up.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and top with the cinnamon swirl.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes; the center should be set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and cool the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
  • Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother batter. Avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles which lead to cracks. Allow cooling gradually by letting the cheesecake sit in the oven after baking to maintain its texture. For a more personalized touch, consider making your own graham cracker crumbs. Store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
